'f State of Iowa, have-invented a new `and Improved?Stock-Vaterer, of whichthe following' is a full, c lear,-and exactl description.

My invention has for its object to provide a stock -watereri disposed in a reservoir, "with opposite walls of the drinking trough spaced from the walls of the reservoir, and with an inlet from thefreservoir into the drinking trough so that when the drinking trough is opened the water in the reservoir will not be materially affected by the outside air" and the water in the reservoir at the outer sides of the drinking trough walls, and which feeds the drinking trough, will tend to keep the water in the drinking trough at an even temperature.

Another object of the invention is to provide a heater with two tubes leading to and from the drinking trough to heat the water therein.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification, in which the preferred form of the invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar reference characters denote similar parts in all the views, in which- Figure 1 is a. sectional view on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that a reservoir 5 is provided, the side walls 6 of which are disposed substantially below the frost line, and which are preferably constructed of concrete sections 8, between which there is disposed a non-conductor of heat 9. The bottom of the reservoir 5 is shown at 10, and the top of the reservoir is shown at 11, and is constructed substantially the same as the sides, that is, of concrete sections 12 between which there is disposed a non-conductorof heat 13. There is a manhole 14 in the top 11 of the reservoir. which is normally covered bv a cap 15. and the said reservoir may be filled through this manhole, or through other means which may be provided.

In the reservoir there is disposed a drinking trough 16 having walls 17 and 18, the ends of which are connected with sides of the reservoir 5. It will be seen by referring to vSpecification o f Letters 4Patent.4 Application filed Novemberi29,f1916.v Serial No. 134,039.

trough 16 at an even temperature. Thezbot- Patented nee. 1i, `1917.1'

F ig. 1 of the Vdrawings that the drinking trough vwall 1S is disposed downwardly` and,

inwardly from its upper portion 18a, whic 5 connects with one of the side walls 6 ofthe reservoir 5. By this Construction:thedrink-n ing trough 16 is disposed at one of the-sides E151 of the-reservoir 5, and at the-same time the drinkingV trough wall* isspaced .fromfj'the' adjacent reservoir wall 6. Inthis waythe. water in the reservoir 5 willcome in contact with the drinking trough wall 18, asfwellqas withthe drinking trough wall.1l7,-to,assist1in. maintaining the water in the drinking tom 19 of the drinking trough 16 is spaced from the bottom 10 of the reservoir 5, and there are inlets 20 leading from the reser-l voir 5 to the drinking trough 16. The drinking trough 16 is normally covered by a lid 21 which is pivoted at 22 to the top 11 of the reservoir 5, it being understood that Y there is an opening in the top 11 of the reservoir, at the sides of which the upper portions of the drinking trough walls 17 and 18 are connected.

As an additional means to keep the water in the drinking trough 16 warm, when the lid 21 is raised, I pro-vide a heating compartment 23 at a side of the reservoir 5, there being disposed in this heating compartment a hollow heater 24 with which are connected two pipes 25 and 26, the pipe 25 leading from the top of the hollow heater 24 to a point adjacent the center of the bottom 19 of the drinking trough, while the pipe 26, which is disposed below the pipe 25, leads to the bottom of the hollow heater 24. It will, therefore, be seen that when a lamp 27 is disposed under the hollow heater 24, and there is water in the drinking trough 16, the water will pass through the pipe 26 to the bottom of the hollow heater 24, and will flow therefrom through the pipe 25 back to the drinking trough 16. The broken lines in Fig. 1 of the drawings show the opening in the ground in which the heater compartment 23 is disposed, the opening being suiiiciently large to permit of the introduction of the lamp through a s ide of the compartment. 105

Having thus described my invention, I y claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: y

1. A reservoir constructed of concrete and in position, the reservoir having a top with an opening adjacent an outer edge thereof, and a drinking trough disposed in the reser- Voir having opposite sides one integral with the top at its opening adjacent the said outer edge of the top and extending downwardly and inwardly relatively to the adj acent side of the reservoir, the other side of the drinking troughbeing spaced from the said outer edge of the reservoir top and being integral with the top of the reservoir at the opening therein, the said sides of the drinking trough being extended to opposite sides of the reser. Voirl and beingintegral therewith, and a. bot tornforthe drinking trough spaced from the bottom ofthe reservoir, therebeing anv inlet inthe drinking troughileading from the res.m

ervoir.

2. A reservoir constructed of: concreteiandy edge of the top and extending downwardly and inwardly relatively to the adjacent side of the reservoir, the other said side of the drinking trough being spaced from the said outer edge of the reservoir top and being integral with the top of the reservoir at the opening therein, the said sides of the drinking trough being extended to opposite sides of the reservoir and being integral therewith, a heater disposed` at. JChe outery side of one. of thesaid; opposite sides ot the reservoir, pipes fromthe heater extending through the side. of,y the reservoir tothe, drinking trough and Ytrom the drinking; troughl through, the side ofthereservoir to the heaterg, and a bottonii FRANK n.
